Each thing that exists remains forever, and that very existence of existence is proof of its eternity. But without that realization, which is the knowledge of perfect being, man would never know whether there was existence or non-existence. If eternal existence is altered, then it must become more beautiful; and if it disappears, it must return with more sublime image; and if it sleeps, it must dream of a better awakening, for it is ever greater upon its rebirth.
Khalil GibranFrom a sensitive woman's heart springs the happiness of mankind, and from the kindness of her noble spirit comes mankind's affection.
Khalil GibranSit by me, my beloved, and listen to my heart; smile, for your happiness is a symbol of our future.
Khalil GibranSaying this, he turned his head toward the window as if he were trying to solve the problems of human existence by concentrating on the beauty of the universe.
